In many ways, Mamoswine is the quintessential anti-metagame Pokemon. With excellent Attack and fantastic offensive typing, Mamoswine is uniquely suited to checking many of the biggest threats of OU. Thanks to Ice Shard, Mamoswine can OHKO sweepers such as Thundurus-T, Salamence, and Garchomp before they can even move. Mamoswine is no slouch against defensive teams either; its powerful STAB attacks, Earthquake and Icicle Crash, together allow it to 2HKO nearly any Pokemon that tries to switch into it. For teams that need a Stealth Rock user that does not give away too much momentum, Mamoswine is a very effective option and can still use its priority to check weakened sweepers. Unfortunately, Mamoswine's Ice / Ground typing is not nearly as good defensively as it is offensively, and its plethora of weaknesses and base 80 Speed make it difficult for it to come in against many offensive Pokemon that it is unable to KO with Ice Shard. Nevertheless, Mamoswine can be a powerful presence on many teams with its ability to revenge kill threats and break walls.
Equipped with a Life Orb, Mamoswine can use its base 130 Attack and powerful STAB attacks to deal extensive damage to the opposing team. Icicle Crash and Earthquake allow Mamoswine to hit the majority of the metagame for neutral damage, 2HKOing most Pokemon that aren't heavily invested in Defense. Ice Shard provides Mamoswine with powerful priority that mitigates its average Speed and hits many of the top threats in OU for super effective damage: Garchomp, Salamence, Dragonite, Breloom, Thundurus-T, Tornadus, and Landorus-T are all easily revenge killed by Ice Shard with minimal residual damage. Superpower rounds out Mamoswine's coverage, 2HKOing Ferrothorn, OHKOing Air Balloon Heatran, and giving Mamoswine its best shot at dealing significant damage to Rotom-W. However, if the coverage granted by Superpower is unnecessary, Mamoswine can opt to run Stealth Rock instead; this is a viable option on many offensive teams that do not have space elsewhere for Stealth Rock, and Mamoswine can certainly find opportunities to set up Stealth Rock thanks to its sheer power. It is important, however, to be careful when setting up Stealth Rock with Mamoswine against teams where it is needed to check threats. Sacrificing it for Stealth Rock against a team that has a Salamence waiting to sweep is often not a worthy trade-off at all! Teams seeking a set more dedicated to setting Stealth Rock may find more use in Focus Sash Mamoswine. When it comes to natures, both Jolly and Adamant are viable options for Mamoswine. Running Jolly allows Mamoswine to outspeed Adamant Lucario, all Breloom and Heatran, and non-Choice Scarfed Politoed, as well as being able to Speed tie with unboosted Dragonite. Unfortunately, the drop in power from Adamant to Jolly diminishes Mamoswine's ability to threaten defensive Pokemon; you will have to decide whether outspeeding certain offensive threats is worth the decrease in damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Mamoswine can forgo the power of Life Orb to instead be an effective Stealth Rock setter that can still provide some utility later in the game by picking off threats with Ice Shard. Stealth Rock is the reason to run this set; Mamoswine is all but guaranteed to set up Stealth Rock so long as its Focus Sash remains intact, something easier for Mamoswine to maintain than most other Pokemon due to its immunity to all forms of weather damage. Endeavor allows Mamoswine to remain extremely dangerous even after it has been brought down to 1 HP. Mamoswine can use Endeavor as an opponent attacks, leaving both Pokemon at 1 HP, and pick off the opponent the next turn with Ice Shard. Ice Shard also gives Mamoswine a way to help its team later in the game, when its Focus Sash has been broken and Stealth Rock has already been set, by allowing it to revenge kill numerous threats such as Garchomp, Salamence, and Thundurus-T. It is important to note that, as this set does not run Life Orb, Mamoswine will need many of these threats to be significantly weakened in order to effectively check them with Ice Shard. Earthquake provides Mamoswine with strong STAB that still heavily damages many offensive Pokemon, even without the benefit of Life Orb.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Mamoswine's useful offensive typing gives it some potential roles not listed. Running Choice Band over Life Orb gives Mamoswine significantly more firepower and revenge killing ability, but Mamoswine is powerful enough for most purposes with Life Orb, and being locked into Earthquake is perilous. Choice Scarf is also useful for Mamoswine to allow it to consistently revenge kill +1 Dragonite and Thundurus-T, but its usefulness is diminished by Mamoswine's access to Ice Shard and the ease with which many Pokemon can set up on it once it is locked in; Choice Scarf Icicle Spear is most useful to revenge kill Substitute Garchomp, but that set is no longer as common as it once was. Mamoswine can run Stone Edge to OHKO Volcarona, but Life Orb Earthquake is sufficient to KO offensive variants.
Checks and Counters
Due to its high Attack and powerful STAB moves, Mamoswine has few counters. Skarmory and Bronzong are its best counters, taking relatively little damage from its attacks and threatening to set up entry hazards or KO it. Rotom-W also switches into most of Mamoswine's moveset, but takes substantial damage from Life Orb Superpower. It is also important to note that all of these switch-ins risk having their HP greatly lowered by Endeavor when switching in on Focus Sash Mamoswine. It is significantly easier to check Mamoswine than to counter it, as Mamoswine's Ice / Ground typing and middling Speed makes it vulnerable to super effective Fighting- and Water-type attacks. Pokemon that can outspeed Mamoswine, withstand Ice Shard, and hit it super effectively, such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Scizor, all solidly check Mamoswine.

Jenkins received nearly 2.9 million votes to win the etopps All-Star Final Vote. He joins first baseman Richie Sexson as the Milwaukee Brewers' representatives on the NL squad. But it was Jenkins who was the recipient of massive support in the second and final round of fan voting.
"Obviously, it was great," Jenkins said Monday. "The fans in Milwaukee really rallied around. Everybody, for that matter, around the country. Obviously, people could vote more than once. But it was cool. I didn't even know about the whole voting thing when the All-Star team was being picked, so it was neat to see that I actually had a chance to still make it."
In a way, Jenkins received more attention for being the 32nd selection than if he had been picked in a more conventional way.
"It seems like it," he said. "From all the interviews and stuff and different shows that I did, it was neat, it was a good experience. There's only so many spots and the National League outfield is tough, with all these guys, so it's a nice honor to be here."
For Jenkins, who missed most of the 2002 season due to injuries, his first All-Star berth was well beyond his goals for 2003.
"For me, I was just excited to be healthy and be back on the field playing," he said. "Last year was so rough, not being on the field for 3 1/2 months. So for me it was gratifying just being healthy again, back out there, playing every day. So I don't know that I could really foresee this. I wasn't expecting it, but it's definitely a great honor and it's something you won't forget."
Sexson received his own additional honor. He was a late addition to the field of Home Run Derby competitors, which includes Jim Edmonds, Albert Pujols and Gary Sheffield representing the National League. So Monday night turns from relaxation to the spotlight for Sexson, who can handle the situation either way.
"It works both ways," he said. "It's nice to be able to just sit down and watch, but at the same time, it's fun to do, too. You just hope that you get in a groove and get hot.
"It makes the day a little harder, that's for sure. But I don't think there's a ton of pressure. You try your best. Shoot, there are 100 guys who didn't hit one, so you won't be the first if you don't hit any."
This is Sexson's second All-Star selection. The event obviously hasn't lost any of its excitement for him, but he's no longer a rookie here, either.
"It's still a great honor, but it gets easier the second time," he said. "You know what to expect, you know what to do, what not to do. You know you can't try to hit every single party. You've got to relax, give yourself a break, you don't have to try to do everything."
But for Sexson and Jenkins, at least there will be the opportunity to do something, as All-Stars, in baseball's Midsummer Classic.

Don't shoot the messenger
Walter Pincus, the Washington Post's long-time voice of conventional liberal thinking on national defense issues, is unhappy with Robert Gates' new book.

No doubt, there were embarrassing moments at the Pentagon while Gates was serving Bush there. But Gates' high-profile revelations »
As Iraq Slides Downhill, What Happened to Obama's "Plan"?
Al Qaeda is rapidly asserting control over large swaths of Iraq, and the Obama administration is doing nothing, because President Obama doesn't care. But didn't Obama once have a plan to deal with the possibility that our withdrawal from Iraq could create an opportunity for al Qaeda? Indeed he did. Here is Obama in 2007, telling us that "My plan would maintain forces in the region to target all al »
Terrorists Take Fallujah; Obama Doesn't Care
The Obama administration has been disgraceful in so many ways that it is hard to keep track of them all, but surely one of the worst is its treatment of Iraq. Following his inauguration, President Obama withdrew troops from Iraq on the timetable that had been agreed to by the Bush administration. But as the draw-down continued, and it became apparent that security would worsen dangerously in the absence of »
Kerry to Congress: Don't believe those lying Israelis
John Kerry appeared before the Senate Banking Committee yesterday to argue against further sanctions on Iran. The session was closed, but Republican members weren't bashful about publicly expressing their dismay over Kerry's performance. BuzzFeed has the details. Sen. Bob Corker said he was "very disappointed." Kerry, he said, made "an emotional appeal," devoid of specificity. Sen. Mark Kirk described Kerry's pitch as "very unconvincing" and "fairly anti-Israel." According to Kirk, »
Bipartisan U.S. policy leaves Iraq on the brink
I wrote here and here about the unraveling of Iraq that has followed the withdrawal of American troops and the failure of the Obama administration to negotiate a status of forces agreement with the Maliki government.

The wages of Obama's foreign policy indifference
Last month, relying mainly on the work of Jessica Lewis of the Institute for the Study of War, I wrote about the resurgence of al Qaeda in Iraq.

Jessica Lewis of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) was a decorated intelligence officer for the U.S. Army. She performed that role in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Secular Syria?
I had to smile during yesterday's hearing on Syria when John Kerry talked about Syria's secular tradition. Kerry did so in arguing that, if Assad falls, a takeover by Islamist extremists is unlikely.

Democracy in action
Throughout the Middle East, nations and factions are picking sides in the Syrian civil war. But, as the Washington Post reports, Iraq is maintaining its neutrality. Iraq does so even though its president, Nouri al-Maliki, is a Shiite with close past ties to Iran — a major player in Syria. Moreover, as conflicts between Sunni and Shiite increasingly define the region as a whole, not just Syria, Maliki is making »
The peril of arming Syrian rebels
Michael Rubin has a string of worthwhile posts up at Commentary, including reports from Iraq where he is visiting.

He explains: This trip. . .has been a wake-up call: Not only Iraqi Shi'ites, but also Iraqi Christians, Iraqi Kurds, »
Revisionist history aside, we were greeted as liberators in Iraq
The late Christopher Hitchens had a standard response to Iraq war critics who ridiculed Vice President Cheney and others who predicted that U.S. troops would be greeted as liberators in Iraq. His response: "They were, I saw it." Others saw the same thing, and reported it. Michael Rubin collects some of these reports. For example, there was this from the Daily Record of April 10, 2003: Ten days ago, when »
Nouri al-Maliki speaks to the liberators of his country
Nouri al-Maliki, the Prime Minister of Iraq, writes an op-ed for the Washington Post called "A partner in Iraq." The most significant thing about the op-ed is that Maliki took the trouble to produce it. By doing so, he goes a ways towards demonstrating that the U.S. does have a partner, of sorts, in Iraq and that, as he puts it, the U.S. has not lost Iraq. Maliki's piece relies »
How America lost its four great generals
When USMC General John Allen's retirement was announced in February, our friend Hugh Hewitt called on Victor Davis Hanson to answer the question whether such a drain of military talent — the retirements of Generals McChrystal, Petraeus, Mattis and Allen, in that order — had ever previously occurred in our country's history over so short a period of time (30 months) because of retirement. "That they occurred during wartime," Hugh »
Won and lost in Iraq
Along with Congress and the American people, we supported the war to depose Saddam Hussein. Ten years on, how is the war to be judged? As the saying attributed to Kierkegaard has it, life must be lived forward, but it can only be understood backward. I don't think ten years' time gives us enough perspective in this case, and judgment is complicated by Obama's abandonment of the project. Among those »
The political price of the Iraq War
Michael Walsh at NRO blames the Obama presidency on the Iraq War. Taking things one step further, he blames the Clinton presidency on our first war in Iraq: Like father, like son.

February 09, 2011
The Placer County Board of Supervisors today approved the implementation of electronic medical records in the county's Community Clinics. This use of state-of-the-art technology will enhance patient care and clinic operations.
"With nearly 40,000 patient visits each year, maintaining medical records electronically will allow the clinics to improve patient care by providing immediate access to a patient's medical history," said Dr. Alex Klistoff, M.D., Medical Director of Community Clinics, "and the system will also allow the clinics to quickly and securely share appropriate medical information with hospitals and other specialists caring for county clinic patients."
Implementation of electronic medical records will eliminate the need to store paper documents, improve efficiency and accuracy when providers order pharmaceuticals and diagnostic tests, and strengthen the clinic's ability to control and track access to patient records.
Placer County Health and Human Services clinics were awarded $115,000 of federal funding to implement the EMR system. The county will contribute $28,000 to the total implementation costs, but expects to recoup this investment within 18 months through reduced administrative support costs and enhanced clinic efficiency.
Placer County has elected to implement an EMR system known as Epic Care which is already being used by Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital, Sutter Roseville Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center and most of the larger physician medical groups serving Placer County residents.
"I am pleased that Placer County HHS has been able to leverage four dollars of federal money for every dollar of county general fund invested in implementing Epic Care. The electronic medical record is an essential tool to help HHS further enhance patient care and reflects Placer County's commitment to access all available state and federal resources that will benefit Placer County residents." said Dr. Richard Burton, M.D., M.P.H., County Health Officer and Director of Health and Human Services.

In order to continuously maintain these high standards, all processes, operations and systems at Inventux follow a "best-in-class" concept. For example, our production systems are not "off the shelf" turnkey systems – which is the case with many other thin-film manufacturers – but rather tried and test processes from the automobile and display industries, combined with innovative solar industry practices. At Inventux, this leads to faster and safer product development.
Thanks to the extensive expertise of Inventux' technology team, particularly in the areas of coating and encapsulation technology as well as the close cooperation between the R&D and production team, it is in the position to make very rapid advances in development.
Production at Inventux is the only micromorph thin-film solar production in Europe that is not a "turnkey" solution. It is carried out per ISO 9000, and its systems are CE-certified.
- Top yields and high efficiency
- Assured technological leadership
- High process reproducibility
- High in-house competence
- Independence from machinery contractors
- Lower investment costs

its great being located right between baltimors new york and philadelphia i mean lots of opportunities to meet new people all the time.. i mean its not so bad that most of them are gun toting drug dealers worst part is how they come and stay and spread out used to be once you left the city the crime stopped now it streetches for miles outside of the cities. we need police stations in every school now. i mean you can move farther out but the cost of living rises so much you cant afford to eat and the fact that public transportation doesnt exist you cant get anywhere. my advice move to the woods where the cost of living is low and keep your doors locked heading through the city. oh and keep to the speed limits when going through cumblerland county the cops need more money to fight the cost of the urban sprawl[read more...]

Nice place to live if you aren't concerned with it - 2/21/2011
I lived in Harrisburg for 12 years. My family moved to Mechanicsburg a few miles away, however I lived in the city proper for 3 years before leaving. Harrisburg is an interesting place. An odd hybrid of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Lots of east coast attitude, but lots of rust belt earnestness as well.
First the positive: It's in the middle of EVERYTHING. NYC is 3 hours away, Baltimore/DC is 90 minutes, Philadelphia is 2.5 hours and Pittsburgh is 3 hours. Most beaches on the eastern shore are typically between 3-5 hours away depending on which one you're talking about. Pennsylvania is one of the oldest regions of the country and the historical significance of the area makes it an extremely attractive draw for US History buffs and casual tourists. The scenery in the entire central Pennsylvania area is green, lush and beautiful with thick forests, rolling hills, and winding back roads. The Susquehanna River which runs along the entire western border of the city is breathtaking on a sunny day. There are a pretty significant amount of things to do in Harrisburg, including restaurants, theater, music, concerts, and athletic events. Considering that the area isn't a large city, it's very surprising how much there is... it's not city-quality, but much of it is comes very close, minus all the big city hastles (crowding, traffic, high prices, etc.) Overall I would say the pluses outweigh the minuses in that respect.
The Negative: The worst thing about living in Harrisburg is the city itself. It's a dirty, dingy place with many destitute neighborhoods. The good part is that there isn't a whole lot of bleed-over from the bad areas to the good. They are very compartmentalized. Because of the massive amount of highways around the area, Harrisburg also has an extremely high pollution rate. Not a good place for allergy or asthma sufferers. Speaking of traffic, that's another huge problem. Harrisburg is the crossroads for about a dozen major state and interstate roads. In many areas containing the major traffic arteries there is no space to build on either side of the roads and therefore have too few lanes to accommodate the amount of traffic on them. Due to these factors the area highways are under constant strain and must be rebuilt constantly, causing lots of construction in the area, further exacerbating the traffic problems. Traffic often grinds to a halt with an incident on any of the major highways in the area. Another issue is he design of the highways. Many off ramps in and around the metro area are absurdly short or curved too far to allow any kind of acceleration until one is already off the exit ramp. Another minus is the provincial attitude of many of the residents. In many places you can expect to go out for drinks with your coworkers after hours, not here... everyone goes home to their families. This appeals to some, but not to others. While Pennsylvania is an extremely liberal place in the urban areas, it is just as conservative in the rural. Harrisburg is a blend of both, some extremely conservative, some extremely liberal. Overall I enjoyed living in Harrisburg very much. The people are friendly once you break through their tough exteriors, the weather is OK, it gets very rainy and gloomy in the autumn and there is often a large snow accumulation at least 3-5 times per winter. Summers are usually hot and humid.[read more...]
Harrisburg PA - 1/10/2010
We have lived in this area for 7 years. There are a lot of attractions, HersheyPark right down the road. They have an artsfest, music fest and lots of activities during the summer. City Island is a popular place to go. The winter is a little cold, we have had snow and it's cold but where I work, they haven't closed due to snow in 7 years.[read more...]

This place is booming! - 5/20/2008
I located in Harrisburg after completing school at a nearby college and I've got to say that there are so many exciting things going on here I don't ever intend to move back to Philly. It's small enough that you can really get to know the people and places that make Harrisburg, and you can actually make a difference. The new Harrisburg Area Community College building in midtown, the new Harrisburg University of Science and Technology downtown, restaurant row, new office buildings and new companies coming to town really speak to this place as a quickly up and coming destination. And with the launch of Spotobe.com you can really find something fun to do every day of the week. Great place![read more...]
Thought I was the only one who didn't like HBG - 5/13/2008
I couldn't get away quick enough. Too small-town a mindset for a state capital, but that's true of the whole Susquehanna Valley. Racially diverse but not happy about it (them, not me). Stuck in the past. My impression was that if it was your home-home, you loved it, but it didn't embrace newcomers successfully.[read more...]
Hometown of Newt Gingrich - 4/3/2008
Fifteen years ago my wife and I escaped Harrisburg. Even though we periodically return for visits, I am so grateful we did not stay and become ….. one of them!
The downtown has "attempted" to revitalize with Restaurant Row which in actuality is five block of mostly bars and nightclubs. Girls in their Fashion Bug finest, stumble around while their boyfriends relieve themselves in alleys. Retail has yet to transpire beyond a few novelty shops and pharmacies. I will give them credit for the new Whitaker Center.
Forget public transportation. The routes are limited and most suburban lines stop after rush hour. This dates back to the 70's as a means of keeping undesirables off the West Shore. Oh did I mention there's no Sunday or holiday service? So if you're elderly or handicapped … stay home!
In 1975 I went to the State Museum and today the same exhibits are STILL THERE! They did open a Civil War museum which I think gets 40 visitors a day. Hello, Gettysburg is only 30 minutes away! If you want to see a Monet or a T-Rex, drive 100 miles to Philadelphia. There is a symphony and a couple of art galleries but culture is not something that is prevalent in an area where the goal in life is to become a state employee.
Speaking of goals, the public school system is below national standards in testing and there is no university. Ok, PSU does have a campus down in Middletown but other than a community college where you can learn auto repair or cosmetology; educational options are limited. But hey, those trades won't get you that cushy state job!
The city does offer some attractive housing options in areas like Shipoke and Midtown but it stops at that. You will not find a community feel with retail areas providing relaxing coffee shops (they keep closing) or trendy boutiques. Instead expect convenience stores and hair/nail salons. You also have those pesky problems like parking, persistent vandalism, home robberies and muggings.
As a community, blacks still use the H word, whites still use the N word. Both think all Asians are Chinese and physical/verbal gay bashing seems to be the local sport of choice. It's sad to see a toothless 40 year old woman stick her head out a car window to yell the F*gg*t as she passes an empty State Street.
In a nutshell that summarizes the Harrisburg area. Even though they've made a few changes, the lack of an educated population and formidable cultural venues retains the unwillingness to accept people different from themselves. This decades-old, narrow minded thinking prevails, preventing any true progression from occurring beyond bricks and mortar.[read more...]

People are nice, but making $10 per hour doesn't b - 7/18/2006
Well, I've lived here for 25+ years and have given the city and surrounding area a fighting chance, but quite frankly the economy in Pa and in particular, Harrisburg PA sucks! The state civil service pays around $12 an hour and that is considered a 'good' job in the area, wouldn't be so bad but parking in the city is $150 per month and gets raised by $20 per month every year. So, this is July 2006, next year parking would be $170 per month to park if you work in the city.
The apartments about 15 minutes outside of the city are $650 per month and rising for a ONE bedroom. You can't live in the city because of the crime being so bad. It's not so bad in some sections, unfortunately, you must drive by those bad sections to get a cheaper apartment. House prices average $200,000 about 15 minutes away from the city. In the nice sections of the city you are looking at $250,000 with $4,000 per year in taxes just for the privelege on owning a home.
The people are very nice here and like everyone from all walks of life. I have noticed it doesn't matter where you've come from people really embrace others. I think it is like if you are in a horrible place they want someone else with them since it is so horrible. Some nightlife in the city but jeesh, the crime in that nightlife is bad. Someone got shot the other night, someone jumped off a building a few months ago, etc.etc.
Diversity is here, taxes are horrible. Jobs there are none, paying more than $12 per hour and they want a bachelors degree. The health care in particular is very bad. The doctors are hurried, irritated that the malpractice insurance is so high, the nurses are hurried, but paid very well, in comparison with everyone else in the area. If you are a nurse, this place is a good place to work if you don't mind forced overtime. They pay a portion of your schooling if you stay in PA, they are that desparate.
Technology jobs are none, they've moved to North Carolina or overseas. Unemployment rate is 4.4% but I know that's grossly lower than what it really is since a relative of mine works at Labor & Industry...Jobs are hard to come by that pay $40,000 per year. The cost of living here in comparision with the pay and jobs are not good. If you really want to be employed at a good job making more than $12 per hour, don't come here. I am getting my master's and getting out. Good luck to all.[read more...]
It's not a fast paced city, but it is a great plac - 6/22/2006
My family has lived in Harrisburg for 5 generations. I am of the third generation and I have live here for most of my 48 years. What's nice about Harrisburg is the diversity. There are several ethnic communities, ie, huge Hispanic and Oriental communities. There are very few "bad neighborhoods." The inner city schools are on the rise and the suburban schools are excellent, ie, Central Dauphin, Susquehanna Twp. and the Catholic schools. The colleges include, Temple, Penn State, Widner, HACC, Dixon, Science Tech, Thompson, and Central Penn. For families just starting out, the cost of living is really reasonable. You can find a nice 2 or 3 bdrm apt for around $650. Traffic is only crazy when the state workers are going/coming to work. This is the capital city and the governor's office and residence is located in Harrisburg. We are within 3 hours of Baltimore, Philly, New York and Atlantic City. There's minor league baseball here and the world famous Hershey Park & Resort is just up the road. But right in the city is lots of nightclubs and good restaurants. There's also the State museum, The Whittaker Center for the Arts & Science, and plenty of other attractions such as City Island, Riverfront Park, The National Civil War Museum and much more. The Harrisburg Intl. Airport will get you to most major cities, as well as Amtrak and Greyhound.[read more...]

The OK Corral - 1/24/2006
I am from Harrisburg and one thing that Harrisburg has to offer is beauty....Harrisburg is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen....hands down...and i have been all over the world. From its rolling hills (especially in the Fall) to its picturesque susquehanna river, it is breathtaking...however...harrisburg lacks motivation...its people are stagnant and socially harrisburg is too conservative. Even though the people are trying to change this way of life..it still exists. Crime in Harrisburg exists also..for this city to be so small it has a lot of crime...hence the ok corral. Harrisburg is also a political town so a lot of wheeling and dealing and backstabbing goes on in this city....if you don't believe it, live here for a few years...i did for 20 and left.[read more...]

Saturday's slate features an 8 p.m. clash of Class 8A title contenders, No. 4 Boone and No. 5 Hagerty.
Hoop Exchange's Saturday Thanks for Hoops event at Orlando Christian Prep adds four more games, including area No. 1 Montverde Academy vs. reigning 5A state champ Lake Wales at 5, followed by No. 6 Dr. Phillips against LHP in a matchup of elite guards RaShawn Powell and Joel Berry.

The Florida Prospects Thanksgiving Classic puts 2012 state champs Dr. Phillips and Edgewater in the spotlight among 13 girls games on Friday and Saturday at DP.
Between the two boys showcases, star-watching will be easy, with 14 of the top 33 Florida seniors and nine of the top 22 juniors on SourceHoops' prospect charts.
The marquee names include Montverde's duo of Kasey Hill, a Gators signee ranked by ESPN as the nation's No. 2 point guard, and 6-foot-10 Dakari Johnson, who reclassified from the Class of 2014 and is regarded as the nation's No. 1 senior center.
SourceHoops rates Hill, Johnson, Powell and Montverde's Devin Williams (6-8) as four of the state's top seven seniors. The Metro vs. Florida shootout has No. 8 Schuyler Rimmer (6-9) of Boone, No. 11 Demarcus Croaker (6-3) of Jones; No. 13 Chris Perry (6-8) of Bartow and No. 14 Dre Clayton (6-6) of Evans, who is not expected to play this week because of a nagging groin injury.
Berry is No. 11 on ESPN's national juniors list, one sport ahead of Montverde wing De'Angelo Russell.

Getting their kicks
Seminole K Luke Nichols was 1-for-3 for his career on field goals before he went 4-for-4 in last week's 26-12 playoff victory against DeLand.
He wasn't even on the team until almost midseason, when Seminoles coach Robert Vite went shopping for a kicker at a preseason soccer meeting. Nichols, a soccer team captain, volunteered.
"He split the uprights on that first one [from 33 yards] and had plenty of distance," Vite said. "We just kept sending him out there."
Lake Mary Prep's female football kicker, Erica DeLuca, scored all four of her team's goals in a girls soccer win last Friday afternoon. She then was perfect on one field-goal attempt and five conversion kicks that night as the Griffins (11-0) won their first-round playoff game, 38-12 against Deltona Trinity Christian.
Timber Creek's Christian Pereira unleashed punts of 51, 50 and 48 yards in the Wolves' playoff win at Olympia.
State scene
On his way to setting the national career yardage record (11,610), Yulee RB Derrick Henry also trampled a state record for carries in a game with his 58 attempts for 482 yards and all six TDs in a 41-26 win vs. Perry Taylor County last week. The previous record was 57.
"We played against [South Carolina's] Marcus Lattimore when I was at DP [as an assistant], and Henry is better," Taylor County coach Ryan Smith said Tuesday. "I'm like every other high-school coach in America. I said one guy can't beat me. Well, he did. You just got to see it to believe it."

I want to improve my English vocabulary. I want to know some of the best ways to improve my vocabulary. How many words should I learn daily? What resources should I use?
Honestly the best way is to prepare for an exam, maybe taking lessons but there is also a lot of material on the Internet. I give a link for the exam I prepared for, I'm not saying it's better than anything else but I was very satisfied with it: CAE, you also can check your level on this site...
A good resource is the English.Stackexchange.com website - a very useful resource for understanding particular nuances of the English language.
Also, depending on your level of skill in the language, you may find English Language Learners useful.
Not "the best way", but a very useful resource I found some months ago: Vocabulary.com.
In a few words: it is a system that allows you to exercise vocabulary. It tries to guess your level based in the answers you give, and so it shows you the words you should not know yet, and when you fail your answer, it remembers them in order to show later again.
It has been very useful for me. I am learning vocabulary with a book, and for every word I need to exercise, I search for it in the dictionary available at that site, and click the option "learn", so when I take the test after that, the word will appear among the other words the site offers me.
Reading a lot of text in English as well as listening to podcasts did the trick for me. If you are interested in the topic, you can do this in your free time and even have fun in the process.
Depending on your goal, there are a number techniques. And while they may not be easy/fast, you can enjoy the learning. In all cases, you want to mirror the way a native speaker would acquire the skill you're looking for so that the learning can be deep and your usage natural:
No matter how you acquire the skills, make sure you practice them aggressively. Writers don't become writers JUST by reading. Orators don't become speakers just by listening to speeches. Don't say "no" if someone invites you to a dinner party or picnic. Go and DO. Pretty much all English speaking cultures (heck, pretty much all cultures) are quite forgiving if you just make it clear that you're still learning and are putting effort into it. Nobody will think poorly of you.
Just to complement other answers: the biggest bang for your buck lies in prefixes and suffixes.
Learning common roots and endings will let you infer what words mean. Add some context and you will have a good clue.
Use Leithner box (for example ediscio.com) and put the word with several example sentences in the answer section and try to memorize them. Also you need to immerse yourself in English (or any other language that you want to learn).
Find an audiobook with text. A typical audiobook would last for about five hours.
1) Use the audio to set the pace, mark and look up all the unknown (or unfamiliar) words.
2) Read with the audio.
3) Go to step 2.
Trick: find a book that really conveys useful information rather than just showing the basic language usage.
If you want to just know words and their meanings, then it is fine to read "word of the day" sites etc. But knowing what a word means and knowing how and when to use them is totally different. So i would suggest you read....and read some more. Not only do you read words with some context(which would help you in remembering the words) you would also learn what is in the book :)
I'm Dutch. I started blogging about things that interest me. A personal goal when I started the blog was to improve my English while writing. I try to be critical, and double-check before I actually publish the post. Sometimes I Google for other phases and words. If English isn't your foreign language, it is hard to measure if you are writing things right. For me, blogging and answering questions on English forums helps.
I think the best way to learn something is to enjoy learning it...As per my personal experience ,I think following are the best ways to improve english vocabulary...Best as in you dont have to put stress about learning but learning would be fun for you...
(1) Reading
Daily spend some time to Read english novels,newspapers,articles...Whatever you love to read..Note down the new words you find,check its meaning and start using those words in your conversations.
(2) Listening
Watch english movies,news...Hear their pronounciation and note it down..Also when you hear someone speaking a new word,store it in your mind memory and start using it.
(3) Practicing
Try to speak in english as much as you can..In your conversations,Start using all the new words you have learnt.. And remember "A single day of sub-zero temperature is not enough to create three feet of ice"..It simply means You cannot build good vocabulary by working hard for a single day/week..You need to practice it daily as "Practice makes a man perfect"...
Best wishes :-)
In my opinion, to improve your English vocabulary, you need to immerse yourself as completely as you can in the language itself. You should do this by speaking English alone for extended periods of time regardless of the difficulty you'll occasionally face, watch the British news, shows, etc.
You'll be surprised how much this would help and make some good English-speaking friends both locally and online and practice face to face or by participating in Skype calls, Google hangouts, etc.
Finally, read. This is the biggest way to boost your vocabulary. Read serious books, novels, etc. not just junky magazines. I hope this helps.

A Cache woman has been arrested for allegedly stealing $50 won by a 10-year-old boy in a school art contest.
The Lawton-Constitution reports that 43-year-old Carolyn Beeson is charged with petit larceny for allegedly taking the $50 bill from the child on Thursday and using the money to buy cigarettes.
Online jail records show Beeson was arrested Friday and was being held in the Comanche County jail on Saturday. Court records don't list an attorney for her and there is no telephone listing for her.
The boy said he went to the home with Beeson's son after being given the money and a certificate for winning first place in the contest and Beeson asked to see the bill to compare it with a $100 bill she had - then left the home with the money.

The secret is out!
Adam Levine has been named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, and the big reveal came down Tuesday night on The Voice, where the ever-humble Maroon 5 frontman flashed a big grin while the audience roared with approval.
The shout-out caps a banner year for the 34-year-old rocker, who got engaged to model Behati Prinsloo, 24, in July.

Is Adam Levine off the market again?
The 34-year-old Maroon 5 frontman and Voice judge, who has split from his model girlfriend Behati Prinsloo, already has his eye on a new girl, 21-year-old model Agdal, a source close to Levine tells PEOPLE.
"It's very casual with Nina, actually," the source says. Despite reports the two are dating, the source says Levine and the Sports Illustrated supermodel aren't taking things full-speed ahead.
"They're just getting to know each other," says the source. "Unlike [Levine's exes] Behati and Anne [Vyalitsyna], where he was serious with them, this just seems to be a new, casual thing."

Rihanna, Carly Rae Jepsen and One Direction are up for 10, nine and eight trophies, respectively, Billboard also announced on Monday.
Swift, Maroon 5, Rihanna, One Direction and Justin Bieber will compete for the top artist award. Adele's 10-million-selling 2011 album, "21," won top Billboard 200 album last year and is up for the award this year. It will vie with Swift's "Red," Mumford & Sons' "Babel," as well as One Direction's albums – "Up All Night" and "Take Me Home" – both released last year.

It was a familiar feeling for Taylor Swift Wednesday night – and no, not just because she was on stage receiving an award.
Her acceptance of the People's Choice Award for favorite country artist was met with a minor interruption, thanks to presenter Olivia Munn.
More than three years since she was notoriously interrupted by Kanye West at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, perhaps the recently single superstar was just a little more prepared this time around.

Adam Levine wouldn't be offended if people thought he was into men. In fact, he'd embrace it.
"If people didn't think there was a small chance I was gay, then I wouldn't be doing my job very well," the Maroon 5 rocker, 32, says in the September issue of Out magazine. "I wouldn't be the front man of a band if that question hadn't come up at some point."
Although he says there's "no way to hide my straightness," Levine – who mentions David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury – notes that "the best" lead singers of all time are "guys whose sexuality was always questioned."

It's not as powerful as you'd think a 20 volt drill would be but it's not bad. I love the fact you can put different types of drills saws and routers on in a matter of seconds. The battery doesn't seem to last all that long but what do you want for $75 bucks not bad overall.

the life of the battery dies rather quickly it's not made for daily use and to replace the battery is grossly to expensive I've owned many craftsman to tools in my 60 years and broke them all
via sears.com
I started reading the reviews and decided this was the perfect tool for when we travel. With all the attachments, I have a complete set taking up minimum amount of space (compared to having all the full size tools). I wish it came with two batteries. However, purchased when on sale and was able to purchase a second kit for less than the price of a second battery and charger. All in all, great versatility when you start acquiring all the attachments.

I think the drill is a good buy but the saw attachment does not have an adjustable blade cut depth. There fore all I've got is another drill.

I really like the power and convenience of owning this 20V drill. No longer do I have to worry if I'm going to have a charge left in the battery. It's there every time I go to use the drill and its accessories. The power is great for many of the DIY projects I perform. The grip is comfortable and the drill's light weight makes easy to use. The attachments are easy to get on and off without being loose. So far I haven't had a single attachment that felt underpowered. I now own another 20V drill from a competitor, but this is still my go to drill (a Christmas gift). I keep all my attachments and an assortment of drill bits, saw blades, sandpaper, screw bits, etc in the bag. That way I can just pick up the bag and I'm ready for my DIY projects. I have only one negative comment about the various attachments. I wish that the designers had thought to add a cap for the attachments when they are not in use, sitting in my tool bag. A cap would keep out contaminants, such as dirt, dust, and various other debris that gets in the tool bag when it is in use. This would be a great add-on. Hey, Sears, give this idea some thought!

Madisonville Police responded to the store after the 8:38pm call and, shortly thereafter, a vehicle was stopped on East Center Street and then the Pennyrile Parkway. It was located and abandoned on Island Ford Road where the alleged stolen items and a stolen registration plate were found. A search of the area led to two suspects being found. 33 year old Jason Pointer of Central City and 22 year old Ramona Burks of Evansville allegedly admitted to police to a ring of thefts from the Central City and Madisonville Wal Marts. Madisonville Police say they recovered 119 stolen items.

The International Jury has stressed the importance that all parties involved in the Dominican Republic must have a recycling program that will guarantee the proper disposal of waste in the beach areas. Keeping the blue flag certification will depend on the fulfillment of all the criteria determined by the program.
The Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label awarded to 3,849 beaches and marinas in 46 countries across Europe, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the Caribbean.

Hugo by Hugo Boss - Fall 2008
View Gallery
(BERLIN) Showing in an airplane hanger seems to be becoming a bit of a trend in the fashion world. Karl Lagerfeld did it with the Chanel Cruise collection in L.A., and on Sunday night Hugo Boss followed suit in Berlin. Hugo by Hugo Boss headlined the second annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin at Tempelhof Airport.
Surrounded by airplanes hanging from the ceiling in a massive space, models stomped down the catwalk to a thumping soundtrack with machine gun sounds blasting to the beat. The space exuded the same militaristic feel as the Hugo Fall 2008 collection. For women, sharp tailoring created crisp looks. Fitted military jackets, skirts with a variety of shapes and bottoms, and crisp basic white shirts were styled with super skinny black ties and woolen skull caps. Sleek strapless dresses created a chic silhouette. The color palette was dominated by black, white, grey, and navy, with somber looks and vibrant energy mixing to create a powerful aesthetic.

|Regional location courses
|$392.18 per credit hour
|Online Education courses
|$327.31 per credit hour
|Combination of main campus and Online Education courses - students enrolled in a combination of courses on the main campus and online, who fall in the flat rate credit hour range, may see an adjustment on their account to reflect the flat rate.
|Regional location and Online Education courses
|$554.40 per credit hour
|Technology Fee for all regional location enrollees and Online Education graduate enrollees
|$20 per course
|Online Support Fee for Online Education undergraduate enrollees
|$60 per credit hour
Why will some students taking a combination of main campus and Online Education courses see a tuition adjustment?
Students taking a combination of main campus and Online Education courses may see a tuition adjustment so that the tuition will more closely align with the flat rate tuition (less the online support fee, which is $60 per credit hour).
How will I know if I am eligible for a tuition adjustment?
You are eligible for the tuition adjustment if you meet the following criteria:
When will the tuition adjustment show up on my bill?
Adjustments will be calculated four times throughout the accounts receivable process: before tuition bills are processed, at the time of billing, before financial aid refunds, and after census.
Why do undergraduate Online Education courses now cost less than face-to-face courses at regional locations?
While the per credit hour tuition for Online Education courses may be lower than for face-to-face courses at regional sites, the $60 per credit hour online support fee actually makes the total cost for an online course comparable to a face-to-face course at a regional location.
Am I eligible for the tuition adjustment if I am enrolled in only online courses?
If you are enrolled in online courses totaling 12-15 credit hours (i.e., the same number of credit hours to be eligible for the flat rate), you will be eligible for the tuition adjustment.
It's no secret that higher education comes at a price. But at WMU, we strive to maintain affordable tuition rates and support qualified students with financial aid and scholarships.

Top Air Force personnel will soon be sporting new secure smart phones. The service signed a contract for 300 General Dynamics Sectera Edge phone-PDAs, which are equipped with built-in Suite B encryption, according General Dynamics.
Intended for senior leadership at the air staff and major command levels, the smart phones are part of a broader Air Force plan to integrate Secure Mobile Environment – Portable Electronic Devices (SME-PED) into its consolidated enterprise network.
Already in use across the federal government, the Sectera Edge is the first SME-PED with National Security Agency certification for classified voice and data, according to General Dynamics. The device can access commercial WiFi and cellular networks and safely communicate with classified and unclassified government networks. It also can send and receive both classified and unclassified phone calls and emails.
The device can also synchronize data with a user's computer to access calendar, address book, calculator, notepad and other capabilities similar to a personal digital assistant, the company said.
The Sectera smart phones can operate on both Global System for Mobile Communications and Code Division Multiple Access commercial cellular networks. The phones are also interoperable with more than 350,000 fielded Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol devices.
The SME-PED program was launched by the NSA to provide the government with a handheld communication device that can securely access classified data. SME-PED smart phones are produced by General Dynamics and L-3 Communications.

Screening for Stocks With Strong Secular Growth
by John Bajkowski
Many growth stocks have performed strongly during the recent uncertain economic times. Investors have been attracted to companies that have been able to improve net income while other firms struggle.
However, the allure of buying into a stock with the potential for a tenfold increase in price must be balanced with the potential for substantial price declines if the company fails to meet the market's growth expectations. As long as a firm maintains its earnings per share momentum and exceeds the market's growth expectations, its stock price can be expected to outpace the market. When expectations are high, a small deviation from market expectations in a quarterly earnings announcement can send the price flying in either direction. Over the long run, stock prices are driven by proven company earnings and cash flow, while in the short term, changes in expectation can move stock prices sharply. If you seek out high return potential, then you mu

Michael from California posted about 1 year ago:
This is getting close in terms of results, to a screen I have used successfully for many years. Some mathematical differences are that I use multiyear averages (instead of year to year), least squares trendline, set a limit on R squared value, set a limit on return on equity, and have fewer limits on sales growth, and set an absolute limit on earnings growth averages, but also put a p/e limit on there too.
Many of the same stocks that show up on this screen also show up on my screen too.

John from Kansas posted about 1 year ago:
This is a great earnings and sales growth screen! Since so many stocks passed the screen, it can be improved by adding some some industry-relative value criteria (Price/sales, Price/book, Price/earnings, or Price/cash--or free cash--flow) and then further adding some balance sheet safety factors (like Altman's Z score or Piotroski's F score [a combo or both income and balance sheet factors] and looking for more safety than the median for a given company's industry). Then you have a value/growth company screen that is fabulous!
John from Kansas posted about 1 year ago:
I just programmed the screen for my own use and noted that in lines 8-11 you compare EPS-Diluted Continuing quarterly items with non-diluted EPS-Continuing quarterly of the prior year. This is not quite consistent comparisons---like comparing apples with applesauce. Close but not quite the same. Going from 4/13/12 to 5/18/12 seven dropped off the Bajkowski list (NVO,RHT, ITC, QSII, WTR, TEA, and RUE).
Also, following my post above, the trailing twelve month F scores from Piotroski were 7, 6, 6, 4, 7, 7, and 6, respectively. QSII had no computable Z score and the two utilities were characteristically very low for that industry: .67 and .81--predictive of bankruptcy in two years for non-utilities.
Peter from Florida posted about 1 year ago:
Thank you, Mr. Bajkowski!
This fist-cut screen provoked a lot of further analysis because I have begun to see that Consistency of growth is a valuable attribute, as much or more than the rate of growth. I began trying to find a consitency or secular growth measure in any of the AAII stock screens with out success. Is your screen similar to any of the regularly published screens?

Mike from Ohio posted 9 months ago:
I tried backtesting this at http://keelix.com/backtester2 and did NOT have good results. The lead-in to the article said something about "good times and bad". The companies might have had good earnings, but the stock prices tanked in 2008. I was looking for a screen that gives consistent returns, in good times and bad.
Does anybody know of a screen that gives consistent returns, in good times and bad? I looked at the monthly return spreadsheet for the AAII screens and they all have periods of SIGNIFICANT drops.
Jim B from Washington posted 8 months ago:
Another way to look at the results of the AAII screens is to calculate compound annual returns divided by standard deviation for each series of results from 1998 to 2012. (Download the results in Excel to make this easier.)
Higher values in this measure will highlight those screens with good compound returns and lower variability of returns.
When you do this, several of the screens that use positive earnings surprises and upward earnings revisions bubble to the top.
